Mandarin Essential Oil is obtained from Citrus Reticulata, by cold compression of the peel. Mandarin Petitgrain oil is also extracted in small quantities by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. The oil is golden yellow-orange and has the aroma of a fresh orange. An entire group of citrus fruits come under the umbrella of Mandarin oranges, including Satsuma, Clementine, Dancy, Honey, Pixie, and tangerines.
 
This oil is very gentle and is hence said to be used for treating a variety of ailments. The Mandarin oranges are so-called because they were traditionally offered as gifts to the mandarins of China. Native to Southern China and the Far East, the Mandarin orange was brought to Europe in 1805 and to America in 1845.
